beats kasich in ohio and trump beats rubioinflorida. >>it's over. >> then you have a two map race between trump and cruz. trump may have a delegate lead that makes it hard for him to be stopped but it will give cruz what he wants which is a one on one with donald trump and the question cokie raises comes up. people assume the states down the line are state brs trump will dominate because of the kind of breadth of the coalition and states that are not necessarily shouldn't be that good for ted cruz. in a one on one race, the michigan results suggest that it's possible that waging an ideological fight against trump from his right could be a fruitful path for ted cruz for some weeks to come. >> even in mississippi where trump won big the people who said it was important to have a candidate share their values, 63% of them went for cruz. so that is -- tells you something about the attitudes to come. >> the problem with cruz is, he's run out of southern states, michael steele. >> that's the problem. >> he's run out of evangelicals dominated and he didn't do as well as he should have. th

floridaofall places. at the end of the night it was donald trump who was gobbling up the lion's share of states and of delegates. he started with that decisive knockout blow against marco rubio in florida. he added north carolina to his column, then illinois and at the end of the night he capped it off by being named the apparent winner over ted cruz in missouri. trump actually doing better than we expected. while it still will not be easy for him to hit that magic number of 1,237 delegates, it is certainly plausible this morning that he will. as for the rest of the republican field, john kasich saved his campaign for the time being at least with a win in his home state of ohio and ted cruz maintained his roll as the strongest individual alternative to donald trump. but the big news of the night, the republican field, it was once 17, it's now down to three. >> while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that i've even come this far is evidence of how special america truly is. >> this was an amazing evening. this was a great evening. >> to those who supported marco who worked
